A certain industrial process yields a large number of steel cylinder whose lengths are distributed normally with mean 3.25 inche

s and standard deviation 0.05 inches. If two such cylinders are chosen at random and placed end to end what is the probability that their combined length is less than 6.60 inches? (round answer to two decimals)

Answer:

Y = X_1 + X_2

If we find the expected value of Y we got:

E(Y) = E(X_1) + E(X_2) = 3.25 + 3.25 =6.5

And for the variance we assume that we have independent random variables for X1 and X2 so then we have:

Var(Y) = Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) = \sigma^2 + \sigma^2 = 2 \sigma^2 = 2*(0.05^2) = 0.005

And the deviation Sd(Y) = \sqrt{0.005}=0.0707

So then our random variable Y have the following distribution:

Y \sim N (\mu =6,5 , \sigma = 0.0707)

And we want to find this probability:

P(Y

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{y -\mu_y}{\sigma_y}

And if we use the z score formula we got:

P(Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lenghts of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(3.25,0.05)  

Where \mu=3.25 and \sigma=0.05

We slect two observations X_1, X_2

And let denote the combined lenght as:

Y = X_1 + X_2

If we find the expected value of Y we got:

E(Y) = E(X_1) + E(X_2) = 3.25 + 3.25 =6.5

And for the variance we assume that we have independent random variables for X1 and X2 so then we have:

Var(Y) = Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) = \sigma^2 + \sigma^2 = 2 \sigma^2 = 2*(0.05^2) = 0.005

And the deviation Sd(Y) = \sqrt{0.005}=0.0707

So then our random variable Y have the following distribution:

Y \sim N (\mu =6,5 , \sigma = 0.0707)

And we want to find this probability:

P(Y

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{y -\mu_y}{\sigma_y}

And if we use the z score formula we got:

P(Y

Write the following numbers used in these statements in scientific notation. (Note: Some of these numbers have been rounded.)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

So in scientific form 4000 miles will be equal to 4\times 10^3miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that radius of earth is 4000 miles

4000 miles can be written as 4×1000

We have to written 4000 miles in scientific form

We know that 1000 can be written in scientific form as 1000=10^3

So 4000miles =4\times 1000=4\times 10^3miles

So in scientific form 4000 miles will be equal to 4\times 10^3miles

Answer the following true or false. Justify your answer.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

a) False b) False c) True d) True e) True

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If A is a subset of B, and x∈B, then x∈A. False

Suppose A is Z (Set of Integers), and B is R (Set of Real Numbers). Then A is a subset of B. x ∈ B, let's say x equals π. If x ∈ B (B = Real Numbers) and x=π then x ∉ A (Z).

We could call A, any other subset of Real numbers (Q, I,..) and we both would come up to the same conclusion when it comes to Real numbers the Set.

So this conclusion is False. Not always an element of a subset is an element of a set.

b) False

For this one, I've drawn some lines, and it is useful to work with them.

Given the set {(x,y) ∈ R²| 0<x<0} then all negative and positive numbers but zero belong to this set.

c) If A and B are square matrices, then AB is also square. True

Taking into account the rules for multiplying matrices. The number of columns of A must be the same number of lines of B to there can be a matrix product.

Whenever we multiply square matrices, we'll always get square matrices. Then this conclusion is true.

d) A and B are subsets of a set S, then A∩B and A∪B are also subsets of S. True

Suppose A= Z (Integer Numbers) and B=Q (Rational Numbers) and S= R (Real Numbers)

A∩B = Z∩Q=∅ and A∪B =Z∪Q = subset

Since the ∅ empty set ⊂ in every set and ZUQ is another Subset of R this is a True conclusion.

e) True. For a matrix A, we define A²= AA

For any Power of Matrices, all we have to do is multiply any given matrix by itself for a given number of times.

M²=M*M

M³=M*M*M
